ISPConfig installation error

    Hello guys,

    I am pretty new to all so please bear with me...

    I installed Fedora 10 on a Dell PowerEdge SC440 using Falko's perfect server setup guide. Things went very well and everything completed successfully.

    Then (as root user) I made /tmp the current directory and used wget to get "ISPConfig-2.2.28.tar.gz" and untarred with "tar xvfz ISPConfig*.tar.gz". After this a "ce install_ispconfig" and "./setup" to start the ISPConfig installation.

    Things went pretty well untill after the CA creation. I noticed a bunch of errors which scrolled down the screen. I took at look at the "/var/log/ispconfig_install.log" and the errors I could find are:
    "WARNING: could not unpack ISPConfig system"
    "WARNING: could not move directory ispconfig_tmp to /root/ispconfig".

    Obviously ispconfig is not working (https://computername:81) and only an empty subtree exists under /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates".

    1. Where (what log files or anything) can I find more info about what went wrong?
    2. If I have to try installing again what should I do? I don't think an "uninstall" will be possible.
    3. How do I obtain all the error output from the installer package?

    Thanks for any advice/feedback etc!

    Please post the first error message from the compile output that you got on the screen.

    Any compiler error output scrolls away and as I mentioned I don't know how to recover that :-( Could you please tell me how you experts do that?

    I tried the new 2.29 version. It worked now, but as soon as I enabled the firewall through the ISPConfig control panel Fedora seems stuck at bootup now :-( I am very sure no other firewall was active (aka perfect server setup).

    I can SH into the server machine, but ISPConfig or apache is unavailable. Any clues as how I can get any information on the new problem?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    df -h
    ?
    Did you disable SELinux?

    The output of "mount" and "df" looked pretty normal. I also had disabled SELinux (as mentioned in the perfect server setup guide). I can't get the output anymore as the system has been reformatted.

    I decided to ditch Fedora and I am now installing a CentOS 5.2 system based on the perfect server setup thing. I will try to setup the system using the configuration files instead for now.

    Thanks for your support guys!
